This would be an H/M fic or Ch/M fic! I think it'll really be an H/M fic cause that's my favorite couple! But I'm not sure. Chiriko and Miaka would be so cute too! Ack! I can't decide! Anyway, you all know that Miaka will never be paired with Taka!

And new character Hitomi would be paired with whoever is available... Maybe Kaze...or maybe she can be single... whatever. Hitomi would now be one of the good guys team! She won't be an extra! She's Miaka's new best friend!!!!

I'm happy you're still reading this!!!

on with the fic!

~~~{~@ Chapter 12: Meeting the past @~}~~~

Miaka, Sei, Odou and Hitomi walked around downtown and browsed some clothes for Miaka. Once they've bought something the four went to Kaze's cafe. They sat at the table by the window and began to chat casually to each other, except for Odou who went to the counter.

"Let's go to the movies!" suggested Miaka, "It's been a while since I last watched a movie with my friends!" And a very long while... Miaka thought bitterly, oh Taka. I f you never hurt me, we could've— no, Miaka. He already hurt you more than twice, no, more than ten times already. Forget him! You have a life ahead of you!

Hitomi and Sei looked at Miaka. She suddenly grew quiet. Hitomi tried to clear her throat and spoke softly, "Miaka, I know we've been friends only this morning but, I want you to know that, whatever happens, whatever happened to you, I'm here, to listen to you."

"The three of us will be here to listen to you," Sei added.

"Thanks, guys. I know I can count on you, " Miaka whispered, "But I can't share it to anyone. At least, no now. But, someday, I'll be able to tell you thee story."

"We won't force it from you, Miaka," said Sei, smiling at her gently.

"Guys, a little help please!" came Odou.

"I'll help you, Odou!" came a man's voice. It was Kaze.

Kaze brought a tray toward their table. Odou introduced his friend to Miaka and Hitomi.

The four ate their pastries, drank their coffee taking their time. Soon, the four left and went to the movies.

* * * After the movies * * *

Miaka stretched out her hand to the air and said, "So where're to?"

"I don't know. Anywhere I guess, " said Hitomi

"Can we go to a book store? (I don't know how you people call it. Here we just call it as book store. Most bookstores here sell pens, paper etc.) I need to buy a pen" said Odou.

"Yeah, I need a new diary to..." came Hitomi, timidly.

"Why not?" came Sei, "Would you mind, Miaka?"

"No, I don't mind!" came Miaka cheerfully .

So the four went to a bookstore. Miaka went to check out some cookbooks, Sei went to check some novels, while Hitomi and Odou browsed the store for what they need.

While Miaka was reading the recipe book, somebody placed a hand over her shoulder. Miaka's instinct told her to look at that someone. Her eyes widened as she saw someone she didn't expect.

"Taka!" came Miaka fright was obvious in her voice. She didn't noticed herself as she dropped the book.

"So all this time, you were just here," came Taka coldly, "You're coming back with me."

Run Miaka! came her mind, Run away from him!! But even though Miaka's mind was clear, she just froze there, as if waiting for eternity to come.

Taka took Miaka by the arm and dragged her off that place. She didn't made any sound. she just let her ex to carry her off to wherever he wanted.

* * * * *

Hitomi found her favorite brand of pen and a new diary, and paid for it at the counter. Just after she got her change, she saw her newly found friend being dragged by some guy she's never even saw.

at instinct, Hitomi dragged one of the brothers, namely Sei, out where Miaka was heading.

"Hitomi, whom are we following??" asked Sei a bit frustrated at her kohai (I'm not sure, but according to my resource, it's a school mate, only below your level... like the opposite of sempai)

"Sempai, shut up.." Hitomi hissed. She has some nerve! "Miaka's been abducted by some guy!"

"WHAT???" Sei began to drag Hitomi instead.
